Details

Based on extensive research carried out by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) and others, this report gives an overview of the skills challenges currently facing the UK, highlighting the issues confronting those trying to get in to work, progress within work, and develop higher skills through their work.

The report outlines the issues to tackle in order to maximise economic growth. It will be followed by a further publication later in 2014 outlining how these might be addressed and how UKCES work can help.
